Foetus, and not Savita, the main focus of medical team, report finds
A HSE report into the death of Savita Halappanavar at University Hospital Galway last year has found that the foetus she was miscarrying, and not the deteriorating health of the mother, was the main focus of the medical team.
The report, details of which are published in various media today, says Savita's vital signs were inadequately monitored and although she was seriously ill by Tuesday, October 23, this was not acted on. She died five days later on October 28, from septicaemia.
